The Sabres signed Johan Larsson to a one-year, one-way deal worth $800,000 on Friday, according to a Swedish newspaper.

Larsson had six goals and 10 assists in 39 games in the NHL last season, and 40 points in 45 AHL games. "This has been a process but now the Sabres are clear they want to have Johan on the team," said his agent Lars Cederstrom. "Johan has great potential to grow even more next season, so we believe he will have an even better position for negotiations in a year."

Mark Pysyk, Jerry D'Amigo, Phil Varone, Tim Schaller, Jerome Leduc and Nathan Lieuwen also had their rights kept by Buffalo. The Sabres will work towards signing those restricted free agents over the summer.

Johan Larsson notched a goal and an assist in Monday's 4-3 win against Carolina.

He has picked up five goals and eight assists in his last 17 outings. Larsson has been playing with Buffalo's top point producers, Tyler Ennis and Matt Moulson, down the stretch and he's taking advantage of the opportunity.

He finished the match with a goal, two assists and a plus-3 rating after he was promoted to the top line between Tyler Ennis and Matt Moulson. Ennis and Moulson equaled Larsson's point total with a goal and two helpers as well. Larsson is playing on his third call-up with the Sabres this year and this is the first one where he's received time in the top-six forward group.

He was flanked by Matt Moulson and Tyler Ennis, which bumped Phil Varone to the second unit between Marcus Foligno and Brian Gionta. He has collected four points in 23 games with the Sabres this season, but this is a good opportunity for him.

Johan Larsson scored the lone goal for Buffalo in a 6-1 loss to the Capitals on Saturday night.

Larsson scored his second career goal 2:35 into the game, but that was pretty much all the offense the Sabres mustered in this one. The 22-year-old winger has four points in 23 games this season, and is far way from being fantasy relevant. Marcus Foligno and Zach Bogosian got the assists.

Johan Larsson potted the lone goal for Buffalo in its 5-1 loss to the Avalanche on Saturday night.

Larsson scored at 13:27 of the third period to cut the Avalanche lead to 4-1, so it didn’t mean much in the grand scheme, but it did to him as it was his first career NHL goal. Larsson was called up to replace Matt Moulson, who is out sick, and it didn't appear he'd make it in time for the game. The 22-year-old has five points in 34 career NHL games. Chris Stewart and Andre Benoit had the assists.

Ryan O'Reilly could be facing potential jail time for his recent incident on July 9.

He allegedly crashed his truck into a Tim Hortons and his blood alcohol level was above 80 mg. For that he might be fined $1,000 and have his license revoked for a year. However, he's also being charged with fleeing the scene and that can led to him spending as much as six months in jail. He signed a seven-year, $52.5 million contract with Buffalo on July 3.

Sam Rienhart’s Blue team defeated the Eichel-led Gold team 5-2. "It was definitely an unbelievable crowd," Eichel said. "It's crazy to think there were 17,000 people here for a scrimmage in July, but like I said earlier, it says a lot about Buffalo and how passionate they are for the Sabres."

The Ottawa Senators have shipped David Legwand and Robin Lehner to the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for the 21st overall pick in the 2015 draft.

Legwand is coming off of a rough campaign where he was limited to nine goals and 27 points in 80 contests. He was also scratched for half of Ottawa's 2015 playoff contests. He could certainly use a change of scenery and the Senators likely wanted his $3 million cap hit off the books.

Cal O'Reilly has signed a two-year deal with the Buffalo Sabres for $700,000 per season.

He'll join his younger brother Ryan in the Queen City. O'Reilly was waived by the Canucks before the start of the 2014 season and had 10 goals and 61 points in 76 games with Utica of the AHL. Look for O'Reilly to be a bottom six forward for the Sabres if he can crack the lineup.

Evander Kane skated for the first time since his shoulder surgery in February on Thursday afternoon.

Kane certainly does appear to be "well ahead of schedule", as was reported last month. If Kane is indeed able to start the 2015-16 season healthy, he has a chance to lead a cast of scorers that includes veterans like Matt Moulson and Tyler Ennis. Plus young developing talent like last year's All-Star Zemgus Girgensons, and upcoming Sam Reinhart and presumably Jack Eichel.

"The biggest thing is you want to produce and help the team win. When they aren't going in and you aren't getting wins, it's hard on people," Moulson said. "A lot of us didn't have years we wanted to have, and we’re going to make sure that doesn't happen again." Ex-coach Ted Nolan wasn't able to surround Moulson with the kind of experience and talent that he played with on the Islanders and Wild, but Moulson isn't using that as an excuse. "I think at the start of the season I got away from the type of player I am a bit and what made me successful," he said. "I don't know what it was really that drove me away from that, but I'm definitely going to concentrate on getting back to that."

The Buffalo Sabres have signed Jerry D'Amigo to a one-year/two-way contract.

D'Amigo will get $700,000 in the NHL and $125,000 in the AHL. D'Amigo was pointless in nine NHL games for the Sabres this past season after picking up nine goals and 26 points in 59 games between Springfield and Rochester of the AHL. He has no fantasy value to speak of.

Tyler Ennis joined Claude Giroux and Tyler Seguin on Canada's second line at practice.

Head coach Todd McLellan said the lineup isn't set in stone going into Friday's game against Latvia. Sidney Crosby skated between Jason Spezza and Ryan O'Reilly on the top line, while Sean Couturier joined Brayden Schenn and Tyler Toffoli. Matt Duchene played with Nathan MacKinnon, Jordan Eberle and Taylor Hall to round out the group.

Brian Gionta acknowledged there will be a different kind of energy this season for the Sabres.

The sort of energy where guys actually think the front office is trying to improve the team instead of tanking to preserve a high draft pick. Gionta said "100 percent we’ll be a better team" after general manager Tim Murray added Evander Kane, Zach Bogosian, Ryan O’Reilly Jamie McGinn, David Legwand and Robin Lehner. And let's not forget Jack Eichel and Sam Reinhart. "Look at the moves he's been able to make," Gionta said. "You can say you want a better team, you want to bring in better players, but for him to actually pull that off and make the moves he did, it shows that he means business. That excites guys in the locker room."

Jamie McGinn is joining teammate Ryan O'Reilly as they head to Buffalo in exchange for Nikita Zadorov, Mikhail Grigorenko, JT Compher and the 31st overall pick.

McGinn lost all but 19 games to a back injury in 2014-15, but will still only be entering his age-27 season when October rolls around. In 2013-14, when McGinn skated in 79 games for Colorado, he set a career high of 19 goals and 38 points. McGinn has one season left on his contract with a $2.95M cap hit.

Rasmus Ristolainen has registered nine points, included four goals, in his past 11 games.

"It feels good," Ristolainen said Wednesday. "I've been working hard. It's nice to get some points and some goals lately." Four of those points have come on the power play. The 20-year-old defenseman has a chance to end the season on a high note, as he now has 20 points in 76 matches.

Mike Weber will not be in the Buffalo lineup Monday night or in any of the Sabres' remaining regular-season games.

Weber needs surgery for a lower-body injury that the Sabres didn't identify. Weber had seven points in 64 games this season and wasn't an asset for fantasy owners who were looking for more than hits and blocks.

Head coach Ted Nolan confirmed the news on Sunday morning. Gorges' first season in Buffalo has been a nightmare. The 30-year-old has played in only 46 games and he has no goals and six assists in 2014-15. He was never known as a point-producer, but he has an ugly minus-28 rating. The club has officially placed Gorges on injured reserve.

Andrej Meszaros collected two goals for the second straight game in Monday's 4-1 win over Arizona.

Meszaros simply blasted two pucks past Mike Smith in the second period, the first on the power play. He also contributed three hits and two blocks during his 20:53 of work. Meszaros now has seven goals and 13 points this season.

Mark Pysyk has agreed to a two-year, $2.25 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres.

Pysyk had 17 points in 54 AHL contests last season and another three points in seven games with Buffalo. While nothing is set in stone, this deal heavily suggests that he will be part of Buffalo's opening game roster.

The Buffalo Sabres have acquired Robin Lehner and David Legwand from the Ottawa Senators in exchange for the 21st overall pick in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft.

At one time Lehner was seen as the Senators' goaltender of the future, but he hasn't been able to firmly establish himself as the team's starter. After showing promise in his initial NHL stints, he has struggled with a GAA above 3.00 in each of his last two seasons. The 2014-15 campaign was arguably his worse to date as he posted a 3.02 GAA and .905 save percentage in 25 contests. At the same time, he's just 23 years old so it's far too early to assume he won't live up to his potential. He's got a fresh opportunity in Buffalo and it wouldn't be surprising to see him make the most of it.
